ABLIC is a coined word combining ABLE (possible) and IC (short for “integrated circuit”), expressing that semiconductor technology enables possibilities. In January 2016, ABLIC became independent of Seiko Instruments Inc., and it has been operating as a maker of analog semiconductors under its current name since January 2018. Now ABLIC has made a fresh start upon becoming a member of the MinebeaMitsumi Group in April 2020. ABLIC began in-house development and fabrication of CMOS ICs in 1970, based on the production of the world’s first practical quartz watches in which CMOS ICs were incorporated. ABLIC's strength lies in the low-current consumption, low-voltage operation, and ultra-small package technologies we have developed over many years....
